When she was alot younger I used to give her apple I had cooked slightly to make it a bit softer but I think she was handling raw apple pieces fine by about 8 or 9 mths.

I see your point, but then I would never have given Izzy raw fruit before she was 6 months old. She was quite a bit older in fact before I felt she was able to handle it propetly with her hands and in her mouth.
Yeah I started BLW a week early. Every other fruit I've given her has been fine but apple just didn't work for us raw. Trial and error I say!

I dont see the problem giving apple
Its very rare that LO will choke and if you have been giving apple before then stick to what your doing. Its obv doing your LO no harm

We give connah apple but we usually bake it for him x

I have given Kaitlynn apple quite a few times even though it does worry me about choking. She has 6 teeth but it will be easier for her when she has a few more.

I was stupid enough to give Alex some apple. Didnt expect her to try and bite it tho, this causing her to choke and throw up the contents of her belly She was smiling about it, but thats the last time i'll be doing that!

I have been giving my little boy chopped up apple since he was about 10 months. He likes it, but it does take him a while to chew it. I find pears to be his absolute favourite as they are so soft. The one I heard was a no, no was grapes because they can swell up if they choke....
